i've been engaged for one whole week!

this picture is blurry, but i like how the empire state building is all lit up over my left shoulder (next to the index finger).

OK, so i'm not THAT obnoxious. these pics were all taken the night we got engaged. i promise i have only been waving my ring about in the privacy of our home.

i have spent the last week staring at my left hand however. i love my ring! it used to belong to jim's paternal grandmother, and i love that it has a lot of sentimental value for his family. i also adore vintage stuff so it's perfect for me!

about me

originally from massachusetts, i now live in chicago's bucktown neighborhood with my hubs and our english
bulldog, freddie. i'm a pretty typical 30 year old woman--high fives make me
feel awkward, and i'm very interested in living with an amish family for
exactly 24 hours.

But someday you'll reach them all, for what you learn today, for no reason at all, will help you discover all the wonderful secrets of tomorrow."
